Through work in groups, students investigate the core issues relating to housing affordability. From one of the following fields each group identifies a user to assist with a problem: 1. Building materials, 2. Engineering, 3. Town planning. They will develop “persona profiles” to aid in their empathy and understanding of various housing issues and how they affect real people. Utilising the Design Thinking Method, students learn and leverage skills in digital design software, pressure and R-value calculations, and electrical circuits to come up with creative solutions. Ultimately, each team will pitch their solution to the room and receive feedback.
